Colts vs. Bills: 3 causes for concern in Week 7

The Indianapolis Colts (1-5) are looking to salvage their season as the Buffalo Bills (2-4) come to town for a Week 7 matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium.

The Colts are heavily favored in his matchup entering the weekend as 7.5 point favorites at home, and while the Bills lowly offense could struggle to put points on the board, there are still some concerns.

Here are three causes for concern ahead of the Week 7 matchup:

While the Bills offense has been averaging the fewest amount of points per game to open the season, the Bills defense has come into form in recent weeks and their attacking 4-3 could give the Colts some fits.

Solid at all three levels of the defense, the Colts must first stop the Bills’ top pass rusher in veteran Jerry Hughes, who is enjoying a strong season both setting the edge against the run and rushing the passer.

That likely falls on the shoulders of left tackle Anthony Castonzo, but Hughes isn’t the only Bills defender to worry about in the Week 7 matchup.
